When the respondent is present:

Hello, I am <interviewer name> from the <<Survey Executing Agency>> of <<Country Name>>.

The <<Survey Executing Agency>> of <<Country Name>> is conducting a Literacy Survey in partnership with <<Insert name of Ministry/Agency/Partner>>.

Results from the survey will be used to plan reading programmes suited to the needs of <<Country Name>>. Your answers will be kept confidential and combined with those of others to produce statistics. While your participation is voluntary, your assistance is essential if the results of the survey are to be accurate.

Collected under the authority of the Statistics Act <<Chapter>>.

The survey has several parts. We will begin with Background Questionnaire (BQ). It should take about 15 minutes to complete. Then I will give you a series of reading exercises to complete.

Parts of the survey will involve some reading. Therefore, if you normally wear glasses, you will need them to complete the survey.

We will also need to use a tape recorder for part of the survey.


Record the End Time and Outcome Code for the Entry/Contact on the Household Questionnaire, page 2.

Room Requirements

You will need a quiet room with adequate light for reading, a desk or table with clear workspace on it, and two chairs. Make sure the respondent is seated opposite you across a table or desk.

Background Questionnaire (BQ) Response card Calendar 2B pencil for Interviewer to record the respondent’s answers.

Important! Note: It is mandatory that you use the 2B pencils supplied by the <<Survey Executing Agency>> of <<Country Name>> when you are completing forms.

Interviewer Guidelines for Completing the Background Questionnaire (BQ)

Read the questions to the respondent as instructed and be sure to follow the question skip patterns as directed.

Many questions list ‘Other, specify’ as a response option. When the respondent’s answer does not fit any of the listed options, mark an ‘X’ besides ‘Other specify’, and record the respondent’s response in the space provided. Please record the response verbatim.

For questions with a list of response categories to choose from, mark an ‘X’ in the box or boxes that are beside the selected response categories.

If you make an error and put an ‘X’ in the wrong box, use your pencil to completely fill in the wrong box and put an ‘X’ in the correct box.

For all questions which require you to record the respondent’s verbatim response, please be clear, concise, and neat. Pay particular attention to questions that need detailed answers.

For a few questions, you will use a numbered Response Card that lists the response options for several questions. You may show the card to the respondent when you read the question.

The ‘don’t know’ and ‘refused’ options should be recorded only when further probing does not elicit desired responses. Most respondents will remember dates, years, etc. with gentle no direct probing.

Select only one answer per question, unless otherwise indicated by the direction, i.e. code all that apply.

Unless otherwise instructed, answer categories appearing in bold should be read to the respondent.

Page 42

Reading ExercisesIntroduction You will be administering five (5) Reading Exercises.

1. PPVT (Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test) – Shortened Version2. RAN (Rapid Automatized Naming)3. TOWRE (Test of Word Reading Efficiency)4. Digit Span Forward and Digit Span Backward, and 5. Spelling

General guidelines for administering the Reading Exercises are contained below. Specific procedures for administering each exercise follow.

Materials Needed for the Reading Exercises

PPVT Exercise

Materials Needed Household Questionnaire Shortened PPVT Notebook PPVT – Interviewer’s Recording Sheet 2B pencil to record respondent’s answer


Step Action

1. Record the Respondent ID # on the PPVT – Interviewer’s Recording Sheet.

2. Record the Start Time for the PPVT Exercise on the Household Questionnaire, page 2.

3. Open the PPVT notebook and place it between you and the respondent. The title page reading ‘PPVT Picture Vocabulary’ should be facing you. Flip the pages forward toward the respondent until the page for the ‘first item’ item 38, is facing the respondent.

Note: the small number in the upper left hand corner of the page facing you always corresponds to the number of the page the respondent is looking at … in this case 38).


This is a picture vocabulary exercise. I will say a word. I want you to look carefully at the four pictures. Then tell me which picture number best goes with the word – number 1, 2, 3, or 4. If you are not sure, it is ok to guess. It will be my job to write down your responses.

Interviewer Point to the four pictures and their numbers on the respondent’s page.


Let’s try the first one. The first word is sawing. Please tell me the number of the picture which goes with that word?


Make sure the respondent gives you only one number for an answer. Write the number in the box in the ‘response’ column on the PPVT – Interviewer’s Recording Sheet. Sometimes a respondent may be undecided and try to give you two numbers. In that case, ask her/him to choose one, and record that choice in the box. If the respondent’s answer does not match the correct response shown in parenthesis on the PPVT Interviewer’s Recording Sheet, put an X to the right of the applicable Response Box.

Page 44

PPVT Exercise, Continued

Interviewer Flip to the next page in the PPVT Notebook – item 40 and say:


The next word is farm.

Interviewer Step Action

1. Proceed as previously instructed to record the number of the respondent’s answer.

2. Continue through the rest of the exercise. From this point on, you don’t need to say, “the next word is…” – just say the word itself as it appears on the PPVT – Interviewer’s Recording Sheet. You may repeat a word one or two times if the respondent asks you to do so.

3. Every time you flip to the next page of the PPVT Notebook, check to make sure that the number of the item you are saying corresponds to the number in the upper left-hand corner of the page facing you. A useful tip: if you flip the pages quickly and decisively, respondents get the idea that they need to stay on track and work in a business like rather than leisurely manner. Some respondents may attempt to discuss or ask you about the meanings of some of the words either during or after the exercise. Politely discourage all conversation during the administration of the exercise. Explain that although it’s good they’re curious about the words, you are not permitted to discuss any of the exercise words with them.


If a respondent doesn’t offer a response after about 15 seconds, say:

We have to move on. Can you please make your best guess?

If there is still no response after a few seconds, say:

Let’s try the next one.

Then flip to the next page in the PPVT Notebook. Put a check mark beside the response box to show that the item was administered.

Page 45

PPVT Exercise, Continued


If you make a mistake in recording the respondent’s answer, do not erase your recording. Use your pencil to completely fill in the box and record the respondent’s actual answer to the right of your error. Record “m.e.” (my error) in the left hand margin.


If the respondent gives 8 incorrect responses in a row, end the PPVT exercise and move on to the next exercise. Say,

Thank you. Now let’s move on to the next exercise.


Step Action

1. Record the End Time and the Outcome Code for the PPVT on the Household Questionnaire, page 2.

2. Record the Outcome Code on the PPVT – Interviewer’s Recording Sheet (top right hand corner).

3. Put the PPVT – Interviewer’s Recording Sheet back in the Respondent Envelope.

General Instructions for Administering Reading Exercises using the tape recorder, Continued

Dealing with Interruptions

If the respondent stops in the middle of an exercise administered via tape recorder to ask a question or talk to you say:

Please keep going.

When that exercise is finished and before starting the tape recorder for the next exercise, you may answer her/his question if it’s appropriate. But politely remind her or him:

Remember, we can’t talk during the exercises. Please hold any question or comments until the end of each section.

If during the Digit Span exercises the respondent doesn’t hear an item and stops and asks you what to do, tell he or him:

Remember, we can’t talk during the exercises. Please hold any questions or comments until the end of each section.

If the respondent skips a letter or word during one of the reading exercises, immediately stop, point to the skipped letter or word and say:

What is this letter?

After a response say:

Go ahead with the other.

If someone enters the room during one of the exercises, and this causes the respondent to stop, hesitate, and/or appear to lose concentration, tell him or her:

That’s ok, just keep going.

You must briefly describe these kinds of “third-part interruptions” or any other disruptions that occur in the Interview Observation Note, identifying which exercise was interrupted and how and why.

If the tape recorder malfunctions and the exercises cannot be completed, make a note of this on the Interview Observation Note. Update the Household Questionnaire to reflect the appropriate Outcome Code for the exercise that could not be completed (Code 95 – Technical Difficulties).

Interviewer Demonstrate reading left to right by pointing at the letters. Make sure the respondent is giving the English letter names (not the letter sounds) for each of the five letters.

If the respondent gives letter sounds say:

“ not the letter sounds, the letter names … “then demonstrate once by saying the names of the letters as you point to them on the first line” … o, a, s, d, p …”


After you finish the first line, go on to the next line, and the next line, until you complete the card. Remember; say the names of the letters as fast as you can without making a mistake. If you complete the card, please re-start at the top.
